Chapter 359

Miguel told them that in order to communicate with him the cradle of magic had used a human form and that she had somehow announced the end of their universe.

He explained that if Diana and Lilith were to draw energy from the cradle of magic with these scepters, the pure magic would be contaminated by their evil energy and that the spiritual and divine energy would disappear from their universe, killing all the legendary and divine creatures and leaving only humans unable to use their chakra and soul force.

He explained to them that Connor was the guide who would lead them to an energy source that could replace the heart of the Cradle of Magic if ever it was contaminated, and that they would only have one chance to restore the spiritual and divine energy in their universe.

Everyone looked at him speechless and Elias then said to him: “Okay, I take that back, despite all these millennia with you, you still manage to surprise me !”

Kevin after listening to Miguel frowned and he said to them: “If this energy source is indeed the one that allows dungeons to be created, then if you take it away, we won’t be able to train anymore.”

Miguel then said to him : “We’ll wait until the last moment to go and get it, once Connor guides us to it, I can go back at any time, but Kevin… Without the Cradle of Magic, there will be no more dungeons anyway, that energy source was created only to be able to replace its heart if it ever got contaminated.”

Miguel was right of course and he immediately asked him: “You said that the divine creatures would disappear, what will happen to Axel and Willow then ?”

Elias answered him then, because Kevin really had to understand the situation they were in : “Willow will disappear because she is not human, but Axel will survive except that he will become a mere human… It’s his wolf that will disappear. There will be no more immortals, no more mages, no more fighters, the shapeshifters will survive but will become simple humans, as for the demons, the Drakonits, the phoenixes, the Titans and the others creatures like the magic beasts for example, they will all disappear because it’s their animal and therefore their mystical side that is prominent for them.”

Everyone had paled at the magnitude of this impending disaster, it was far worse than anything they could have imagined and then Caleb said : “Without this girl, we would never have known…. Thanks to her, we still have a chance to save everyone.”

He looked at Miguel and Elias with gravity because once again the fate of so many lives depended entirely on them, and he then said as he looked at the boys: “Kevin, Erik, Ashton, you all come back with me to train in the gravity room.”

He passed Yelena to Iris and he said to her: “Take care of her and when she wakes up join us. You will train with her in an area where she doesn’t need to use a force field.”

Iris nodded and he immediately disappeared with the boys into the gravity room, there was nothing they could do at the moment except train, so he told the boys that they had better give it their best because if they really wanted to protect the people they loved, they had no choice but to get stronger.

And three hours later when they were all already training in the dungeons, Miguel and Elias joined Caleb, Kelan, Connor and Derek who were waiting for them where the red dungeon where Connor had been trapped and where he had discovered that secret chamber had appeared.

Thanks to Kelan, they knew exactly where they were and by cross-referencing the data he had collected, he had been able to delimit a search zone around the place where the dungeon had appeared. After all, once in a dungeon, one didn’t know how far it extended and therefore it was difficult to know exactly where the Acrium would be, and especially this source of energy that they had to protect more than anything.

Connor was really tense because after all, it had been a long time since he had used his ability and he just hoped that he wouldn’t have any problems using it, and Derek seeing him so stressed was trying to reassure him as much as he could.

So when Miguel and Elias finally arrived, Connor wasted no more time and he put his hands on the floor in search of that strange energy source he still remembered after all these years.

He frowned and when he pulled his hands away he looked at Kelan and asked him: “Did you bring a more accurate map of this place, I can feel an ore and I’m pretty sure it’s the Acrium we’re looking for but it looks like veins and they are heading somewhere…”

Kelan immediately handed him a more detailed map of where they were and after he got his bearings, he took the pencil Kelan provided him and he drew the veins of Acrium, if he wasn’t mistaken, that he had sensed on it.

Caleb then asked him, widening his eyes when he saw that Connor was drawing already the fourth vein: “There are that many ?”

Connor shook his head and he said: “What I’ve drawn is just the range of action of my ability, the veins went on this way and on the other side as you can see it’s starting to head towards the same place.

I think we will find the secret room we are looking for where all the veins meet and there is a good chance that there are as many veins that go on the other side of the room.”

Elias then asked him: “Are these veins thick, and how deep are they ?”

Before Connor could answer, Miguel patted him on the shoulder and he said to everyone: “Why don’t we go take a closer look, show me on the floor where one of the veins is located and I should be able to find it after this.”
